Elk Grove Village Botox Doctors and Reviews

“Botox Beauty - Chicago, IL”

I have really enjoyed the results of my botox injections I had recieved with Dr. Carqueville. She eased my anxieties and was very patient with my follow up questions. The results are better than I could have imagined! I hope to return to Dr. Carqueville to have possible peels or other injections as I reallly trust her knowledge and expertise. more

“Oh, So Good! - Glenview, IL”

I know we are all out of our minds to inject poison into our foreheads, but it is such a great product! :) I love it! I use it for my forehead only and it is great! Yes, it does hurt a bit when the doctor injects it because he needs to inject it into ten or so different areads of your forehead but it is not too bad... Look at the bright side: you will have a totally smooth forehead! more

“First Time Botox, Did Nothing at All...”

I got 20 units injected and it felt liked it worked a little, then went back to normal in about 8 days. I called the dr, and she gave me 10 more, again, nothing. Now I am determined to go somewhere to do it right, after reading all the information, it is rare that botox wont work, so I am trying a dr that is recommended by friends. more

“Poison - Barrington, IL”

Horrible symptoms since injections in September, 2012. Flu, sinus infections, swollen glands, nosebleeds, ears bleeding, tinitus, bronchial infections, severe cold sores, severe muscles aches everywhere, numbness everywhere, nerve pain everywhere, loss of smell, headaches, blurred vision, exhaustion, weakness, depression, difficulty swallowing, dry mouth, swelling of tongue and inside cheeks,... more

“Perfect Eye Area Restoration -...”

I'm 57, face and eyelides starting to crease/sag. After a minor tweak I look 5 years younger yet face looks the same. In initial consultation I explained limited budget - what would have the biggest impact. Answer: filler under the eye and botox in the same area. Perfect. Precise, non-ego doctor. Next, fraxel laster on full face (approx $3K). Upper eyelid surgery if the budget holds. I trust... more

“Not Sure What to Think - Chicago, IL”

It has been almost a full week since my visit and the jury is still out. It has helped between my brows a little but only directly in the center and it had absolutely ZERO affect on my forehead. ZERO. Not to mention the fact that they advertise $13 per unit, only to be charged $14 per unit on my visit. They also have an offer for 50% off the first 20 units of Botox which I did not receive and... more

“Botox is One of my Addictions -...”

I didnt have Botox done for over a year. Now I need to start over. After you have Botox often, you can spread appointments and get it less often. I couldn't wait to get BOTOX. I didnt do it because I was pregnant and now I can move my forehead and getting small line between my eyebrows, I absolutely hate that line. So, I had 40 ii injected today between my eyebrows, and on the whole forehead,... more

“Never Again! - Elmhurst, IL”

Hi all! Im happy to say that I'm 6 weeks post injections. I had 28 units of Botox in my forehead and glabella . I say I'm happy because every week that goes by is a week closer to healthy days. The past 6 weeks have been some of the most scary and challenging weeks of my life. It all started 5 days after the Botox injections. I started getting very emotional for no reason, then severe... more

“Rash After Botox - Wheaton, IL”

I develop a rash and itch right after botox, on my chin, nose and sides of my face,I feel dizzy with a headache and sore troat like flue . more

“Botox and Juvederm -- You Have to Go...”

Had botox (forehead and eyes) and juvederm (tear troughs, bridge of nose, lips and marionette lines) at well-qualified doctor's office and am delighted at results. Cost included multiple vials of each -- not sure how much, but the price is more than fair. Last time I had botox (a year ago), went to an OB-GYN who was "branching out" into cosmetic procedures. She ended up... more

“Botox Experience - Naperville, IL”

I tried Botox several years ago because I was unhappy with the lines between my brows and on the corners of my eyes. Although I wanted to try it, I was worried about looking fake and unnatural and I expressed this to Dr. P. He listened carefully and injected conservatively, per my request. The results were amazing. The lines were removed completely and my entire face looked brighter, more... more

“I Am a Believer! - Naperville, IL”

I had botox done for two vertical lines between brows. I am in my late thirty and I noticed these lines about two years ago and it started to really bother me. I wanted to see someone who is an expert for treating this region and figured that eye plastic surgeon would be a great choice. my doctor told me that it takes about 2 weeks to see the maximum effect. I didn't bruise or swell at... more

“Bad Botox!!! - Chicago, IL”

Well I see that I am one more poster with a very bad experienced, I hope I can get an answer about when this will end. Got 24 units of Botox on Oct 20, the very next day for the first time in my life I had a severe anxiety attack. The day after that I got my period and the flu, of what felt like the flu with no fever. I thought I was either going crazy or about to die, or maybe both.... more

“Ecstatic in Chicago - Botox in Brow...”

I am thrilled and hooked on Botox. I have been receiving injections for the last three years and I am very happy. One caveat , sometimes you have to go to a pricier doctor than bargain shop. The first M.D. I went to charged a lot of$, but it lasted 5-7 months. I now see another doctor who is very nice, but there is no longevity.I get it in my forehead as well as in my furrows between the brows... more

“Droopy Eyelids Caused by Botox”

Botox (between my eyebrows)I had botox done before from another injector and always happy with that, but changed my injector to a closer location and also had a great deal so went there instead. It was sooo painful, and before it wasn't like that at all.So now have eyelids droops and been 2 wks now. Hope it goes away soon cause I'm hating it. Will not go to that injector again!!!! I think it... more

“I Give Botox a Marginal Thumbs Up”

I had my forehead done over a week ago. You are supposed to wait a full two weeks to see full results, which I may follow up with later. I'm 40 and my largest complaint was deep furrows and frown lines in my forehead. The injection specialist shot up my entire forehead and gave me two shots around the eye area for "lift". The horizontal lines on my forehead are almost invisible,... more

“Botox ROCKS!”

The Dermatologist I received my botox from was great.  Perhaps some of the patients who had bad experiences need to try it again and receive treatment from a board certified dermatologist.  The procedure was painfree! My only complaint is that I had odd headaches after about a week, that lasted 2 or 3 weeks. more

“If They Screw It Up...you Look Awful.”

I've had botox injections a few times and it's about 50/50. Sometimes there is quite an improvement but other times, if they don't inject it correctly, I look worse. I went in two weeks ago, same person that I've always gone to. My eyes are drooping unbelievably. Everyone I've seen has asked me what happened. $800 and I can't leave the house. I won't be getting this again. more

“Thrilled with the Results”

I love love love it. I wish I started it 5 years ago in as much as it retrains the muscle. Each subsequent treatment enhances the previous set of injections. I do not bruise easily and the injections were as close to painless as possible. I am thrilled with the results. It is imperative that you go to a doctor/nurse rather than one of those so called Botox parties. If you live in the Chicago... more

“Botox Looks Good but Has Bad Side...”

My face looks great. I did botox for preventitive measures. I really liked the results but I suffered from the side effects. I had a headache, nausea, irritibility and fatigue for about 4-5 days after the injections. It was not worth it for me. I will not be doing it again. more

“Your Injector Matters!”

I have been a loyal Botox user since it first came in vogue. I was living in California at the time and everyone was getting it done. I first tried it at a “Botox Party” along with my best friend and have been getting it faithfully ever since. My husband and I divorced last year which led to me moving out and eventually moving away from Cali. This meant I had to find a new injector too... more

“Botox Review: Neanderthal Caveman Look”

I had this done in 2002 when the food and drug administration finallty approved this. However, I had a terrible experience.  It was my step-daughters wedding that I was going to attend  in 2 weeks and I thought why not look refreshed? At age 52, I did have a lot of winkles on my forehead and deep furrows between my brows. Therefore I chose a board-certified plastic... more
